COIN RETAINER.

Application filed February 1, 1923. Serial No. 616,387.

To @ZZ whom t may conce/1mg' Be it known that I, EDWARD D. SMITH, a citizen of the United States, residing at'Erie, in the county of Erie and State of Pennsylvania, have invented new and useful Improvements in Goin Retainers, of which the following is a specification.

The invention is designed to act as ay sa.v ings coin retainer. As formed a coin pocket is arranged in a. part of a removable cover for a bank pass-book. In carrying out the invention in its preferred form the coin receiving pocket is sealed by a renewable seal which is broken by the bank and renewed the accumulated coins are deposited. Fea.- tures and details of the invention will appear from the specification and claims.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings as follows Fig. 1 shows a view of theV blank from which the co-ver is made.

Fig. 2 a view of the coin retainer with the pass book in place, the coin retainer and pass book being open.

Fig. 3 a front-elevation of the coin retainer showing the pass book title.

1 inarks the pass book having the permanent covers 2. The covers of the pass book are inserted in pockets in the coin retainer, one pocket being formed in a flap 3 which extends from a fold et, the back being formed by the turning over and securing the flaps 5, 6 and 7. The flap 8 has the extension folds 9`and 10, the fold 10 being foldedon the fold 9 and the combined fold being folded on the flap 8, thus forming a. pocket 11 in which the cover of the pass boo-k is placed thus securing the pass book in the coin retainer'. the top and bottom of this pocket being closed by the folds 12 and 13 at the bottom and top of the flap 8.

The cover l8 has an opening 14 which eX- poses the face of the pass book showing a title as at 15 in Fig. 3.

T he fold 9 which is the inward face of the coin pocket is provided with slits 16 for receiving and securing a non-return device which operates in conjunction with a coin slot 17 in which a coin A is shown as being inserted.

The non-return device is formed of a strip of paper having the two folds 18 and 19 and these folds have the return bends 2O and 21. the edges of which are in engagement. The folds tend to press their edges together. Vhen this non-return device is slipped into the slit 16 it brings the crease 20a of the fold 20 just below the coin slit 17 so that a` coin deposited through the slit passes down between the. folds 2O and 21 and out between their edges into the portion between the folds 18 and 19. With an attempted return inoveinent of the coin the edges of the folds 2O and 21 are more closely pressed into contact lthan lare these edges in contact with the folds 18 and 19. As a consequence when the coin slips upwardly if the container is reversed it siniply passes into the space between the folds 18 and 21 or 19 and 2O and is arrested at the crease of the fold.

In order to readily remove the coins and also the non-return insert I preferably provide a gumined slip 23 which extends through the slit 16. As the non-return device is inserted through the slit 16 the guinmed label is'slipped into the lower slit 16 and sealed down. l/Vhen it is desired to remove the coins this gummed label is cut and the non-return device is withdrawn carrying with it the deposited coin. If

desired a record o-f the coins placed in the retainer may be placed on the gummed label at 24E. Inasinuch as this is renewed with each' deposit a new record is thus provided, it being understood as the bank replaces the nonreturn device a fresh gummed label is in each instance provided. e Y

It may be desirable to hold the edge of the fold 21 away from the fold 18 so that the inserted coins may fill in the entire space. This is accomplished'by the fold corners 22 which hold the edge of the fold 21 slightly away from the fold 18.

That I claim as new is 1. In a coin retainer, the combination of a pocket formed of enclosing flaps having a coin-receiving slit; a non-return flap in the pocket, said flap being yieldable to per- Init the introduction of a coin passed into the pocket and interposed to prevent a return movement of the coin to the slit; and a sealing device for the non-return flap in the form of a renewable guinmed leaf, the gumxned leaf having a coin record thereon.

2. In a coin retainer, the combination of a pocket formed with enclosing flaps having a coin slit; and a removable coin holder inserted in the pocket receiving coins from the eoinslit, said holder carrying the coins from thelpocket as the holder is removed.
